Hi,I backed up my 1G volume with a ufs type to a 60G volume. When I back up teh data to the new disk, the 60G lun reflects the slice 2 size as 1G even though it was a 60G disk since the label is also backed up by the software.I relabled the 60G volume so that the VTOC re-claims the actual disk ...

Hi,I have one Sun V490 running Solaris 10 6/06 attached to an HP EVA400. I want to backup my ZFS pools using the snapshot facility on the EVA. My theory was this:1.

Thanks for all the rapid responses.The solution was in fact that I was missing updating the /etc/path_to_inst file.This was done by booting the working system, mounting the recoveredfilesystem into /mnt/root and then running 'devfsadm -r /mnt/root'devfsadm has the ability to update device ...

To the many responses that basically asked "Are you sure you are using /etc/passwd? What does /etc/nsswitch.conf say?" the answer is "Yes, this really is a stand-alone server."The entry in nsswitch.conf is "passwd files". There is no distributed security on ...
